Courtesy of a local wine store, I got a free pour of this. I always felt as if the Macallan is severely overpriced for what it offers. It’s takes a luxury item like scotch and takes it to a whole new level of pricing for what it offers. It’s like a Mercedes...you’re paying a premium for the name brand, and it doesn’t disappoint, but you can get 90% of the way there with a premium Japanese car like Acura. Anyway...this one here is different. For just about $100, it’s quite affordable in the scotch world. And it’s actually on par for the price! Nose is amazing. Like a cross between dessert and perfume. I’m not sure this was made for drinking but rather to smell! Taste...so/so. Not bad, but the aroma is the best part. Well worth the price.

@Generously_Paul I think it was season 1 of Daredevil on Netflix—-I actually cringed when this guy put a 50 yr old Macallan in his Coke. Just for that he deserved to get his ass kicked by DAredevil,.
Just joking buddy. So long as you don’t put that coke in those high dollar whiskies we are all good
@PBMichiganWolverine everyone hates you. 😁
@Rick_M 😊 so I guess that Karuizawa single sherry cask I used to mix in my Diet Coke probably wouldn’t qualify as scotch?
@PBMichiganWolverine - my collection could use a Macallan, but I don’t know if I should trust a guy that puts a quasi-bourbon on his favorite rye list. :)
I hear you saying that, @PBMichiganWolverine - but having seen your bottle collection, I know you won’t say “No” that easily. I predict that those kids will have enough in their college funds for Harvard or MIT should they so choose and your estate will be paid in full by 2020. And I ain’t mad at ya! Get it, sir. 🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂
@LeeEvolved god no. No more collections. Ever since I found out that I have the full set of Cairdeas since 2008, I feel compelled to buy one every year now. I’m good with only that as the collection...
Great review, Pranay. I heard the same thing about this one and the first edition Macallan. The nose is the best part. I still need that Macallan No. 1 to complete my collection. I believe the fourth edition is dropping early this summer. Be on the lookout for that one, even with the 400% home tax you gotta keep your collection complete, I think. Lol
